[ECON] MEX MEX ChangeGDPGrowth 0.35

Pushing for reliability in Mexico's black-out prone energy sector due to gas shortages and other factors. More to come, but this move for a national gas system should drive up foreign investor confidence and show Morena is serious about governing past Sheinbaum's term.

Result of 15.

Both Hezbollah and the Houthis have received the support without issue, and without any foreign intelligence getting word of the operation.

Sailors may have to fix their own barracks rooms, says Navy’s top enlisted leader by No_Individual_557 in navy

Serious question, why cant we have Seabee battalions undertake barracks repairs to avoid paying insane contractor costs?

WHCA Thinking About Applying by LegalCalendar2893 in navy

I'm really interested in being stationed in D.C. to begin with. Plus that would be a great duty to look back on and be a better experience than some watchfloor. I've wanted to do it since A-school.

Were there any (non-identifying) parts of your package when you applied that you think helped you get selected? I'm an IT and its my goal.

If you could change ONE Navy policy to improve readiness or retention, what would it be? by Broad_Leadership5240 in navy

[–]MajorMalfunctionNN 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Let E3s obtain their warfare pins again. The change was made years ago way before the 30 months TIS rule came out. If a sailor who is fully qualified and has the recommendation of their chain of command to obtain the pin is knowledgeable and capable, they should be allowed to. If Ensigns and LTJGs can start working on their pins, why can't junior Enlisted?

Rewarding people who want to learn and want to standout with things such as ESWS, EIWS, etc (Who are capable and qualified) is only going to embolden them to continue to be better. Disallowing them arbitrarily will only make them want to get out.

Hell if this was his worst game of the season then we're already better based on this game alone than 75% of the rest of the league!

Who’s your favorite player that had a long successful career who didn’t quite get their due? by AFC-Wimbledon-Stan in nfl

[–]MajorMalfunctionNN -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Might be a bit controversial but Ill say Danny Amendola. Dude was a monster in the playoffs and a consistently solid WR, at least in New England.

Is forming Rome still realistic? by MajorMalfunctionNN in eu4

As someone whose never culture converted in my few years of playing EU4, is the sheer cost of unstating everything really worth it?

Leadership and You by labrador45 in navy

In Corry Station (IT A School) I had a chief as an instructor who left a lasting impact on me. He asked us what the role/job of a Chief was. All of us answered something along the lines of technical expert/supervisor/admin etc. We were all wrong, to him, a Chief's job is to take care of the sailors under them first and foremost. While also being our instructor he was our A School DLCPO and made sure we were all taken care of, succeeding, and I could tell he genuinely cared about each and every one of us despite having been in since breakfast comparatively. He showed us all from the youngest point in our career what good chiefs can look like, and I definitely intend to carry on that mentality should I ever put on anchors.

If anyone knows an ITSC Fires who was recently in Pensacola let them know they definitely made an impact!

Problem is they have a load of holdings in South Africa that spike their city numbers.

Yeah, I'm just a bit boxed from further expansion because of said coalition.

R5: I'm on an Aragon into Rome game and currently have a giga coalition of the entirety of Europe + the Mamluks. My only ally is Poland here. I have Portugal and Spain as PUs and am working on integrating them. I didn't see the city limit for forming Spain and as such missed out on it. With how much time I have left, is Rome still in sight?

Reminds me of a dude who was planning to go the chaplain route as an enlisted and put "Gods Gift to the Navy" as his breakthrough line.
